Well Im going to take a drive that way tmoz- need the BEST place around that way for sledging- Up on the downs...??

Know anywhere-??

S

Downs ull be the best place or if st Albans gets loads the park by the Abbey is good too

[dubmuffin]

The lack of excited posts from the Croydon area says it all, not looking great here at the moment. I checked the Met Office WOW site about an hour ago and all the temps in the area were showing 2c, now all the temps to the south of me are around 0c, so maybe the cold is coming and things will improve. There is certainly enough precipitation.

[glorious12th]

Snow falling pretty heavy for past few hours beginning to settle Temp 0.7 from high of 4.8 Hornchurch

[stratty]

Pelting down now- all snow Yeahhhhhhh! Settled on car and a bit on grass. Seem to be just on the edge here in west bucks.

[Lampostwatcher]

Settling on soaking wet rd now

[Eskimo]

We starting to get a slight covering on the ground now (cars are already completely covered). We just need the precipitation to pep up now and we would get a decent covering.

Ground now starting to look a little pale, looks to be setting on paths and perhaps roads!

[snowblues]

Best snow of the night at the moment,with large flakes,not so wet either.Hopefully get some snow covering,its a bit slushy on the cars

[Pixel]

[jright35]

I thought Kent was the sweet spot lol

[Rinse The Raindrops]

Starting to settle here in Hadleigh Essex

[pinball wizard]

Really starting to come down here in Bury St Edmunds

[shotski]

ECM 12 z is an amazing run tonight, ends with a big fat greeny high.

Gavin will be crying into his cornflakes.

[SMU]

Guys just to avert our Gaze- the ECM is a belter tonight with much better dewpoints later in the week, its going to be a long Feb-

Heights building towards that Big Landmass called greenland!!!

[Methuselah]

I'd certainly suggest the Downs, they'll have the most snow in the whole area, and will see the least thaw I suspect tomorrow.

I've always wondered this: why are the called the Downs? Wouldn't the 'Ups' make more sense?

[Paul Sherman]

Now settling on grass, shrubs, cars etc

Not here it aint - Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh well only a 2 mile drive west to see some settling snow tomorrow!

[GoonerGregg77]

Driving Snow here still, things turning slightly white now. Settling on cars and roofs now.

Small flakes really though, but heavish also.

Temp 0.9c

Edit: Starting to settle on pavements as well now. Amazing! Just shows you, don't matter how wet it can be sometimes, it can settle fast if heavy enough, Seen it all before, so no surprise really. Just fascinating.

Had virtually given up on the prospect of any snow when I could hear what I presumed was sleet on the conservatory roof, went to let the dogs in the garden and was pleasently surprised to see the grass is turning white, along with the garden furniture,

[stewfox]

Only the British could do a running commentary of snow days

Actually when I was in singapore it once got to near 60f almost unheard of and people talked about getting their jumpers out, it was also on the news.

Any 'rare' event will be of interest.

Do you think it's looking better for snow thurs or is it cold rain?

[throwoff]

Snow heavy in gillingham. Too wet to settle though will need a big temp drop to see this stick

I still remember the 1980's so well, Kent experienced some amazing snowfalls and was always the sweet spot for heavy snowfall!

Well Jell

[Djdazzle]

Cars covered , road starting to go white in middle to start

(nr Goodmayes, Essex)

I didn't think anyone still classed Goodmayes as Essex!

Glad it's snowing there though!

[steveinsussex]

So frustrating, dew point 1c = rain here, heavy rain too.... Oh to be. 10 miles east, can't believe we not dragging in those colder conditions

[DAVID SNOW]
